Chocolate ! Ok so not technically brewing but not so dissimilar either and craft chocolate is the new thing

I put passionfruit flavouring in an IPA and it was no good at all, threw the batch away and resolved to stick with fruit puree

Their kit couldn't handle it they would have if they could have
